ABSTRACT:
A microcomputer has the capacity for executing instructions, requesting prefetches of instructions, and experiencing a change in instruction flow, or a branch. The microcomputer also knows in advance that a change in instruction flow is going to occur. At such time that a branch becomes known there may also be a pending instruction prefetch request. Because a branch is going to occur, there is no need to execute the prefetch. Consequently, the pending instruction prefetch is flushed which thus avoids wasting time making an unnecessary instruction prefetch.
